ubuntu

I have the linksys LNE100TX v4 NIC in my computer and I'm trying to get WOL to work w/ server 8.04. When I had windows installed, WOL worked flawlessly. I have enabled all the options in the bios and I have a cable connected to my motherboard.

So I thought I'd be able to do it in ubuntu. But when I entered this

Code:

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

I get the following error message.
Cannot get current wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported
not setting wol.

Code:

ethtool eth0

Gives me:
No data available

Code:

ethtool -i eth0

Gives me:
driver: tulip
version: 1.1.15
firmware-version:
bus-info: 0000:02:09.0

And lastly
ifconfig gives me (I took off the MAC address)

Code:

          inet addr:192.168.1.143  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Does anyone have any ideas? This was working fine in windows.

It works. It still gives that error message but I went ahead and halted the system. And from my other machine I sent a magic packet. worked perfectly.

I'm not sure what happened. But I was playing around w/ settings and now my system does not wake up if it has been powered down for a long time. It will wake up if it was just shut down. But if it was down for a couple of hours then it won't wake up. It used to wake up regardless of how long it was down. Also before I could just wake up my system w/ by just sending the MAC address. Now I also have to send the IP? What happened? I'm not sure if I accidentally changed any settings.

Anyone have any ideas?
